Looking for the lowest latency/best overclocking potential. Is this corsair kit b die?

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB 3600 cl16-18-18-36 (CMW16GX4M2K3600C16)

Crucial Ballistix RGB 16 GB 3600 cl16-18-18-38 ( BL2K8G36C16U4BL )

The crucial is significantly cheaper.

Or any other recommendations, I am in the UK and currently got an x570 aorus pro and 3800x, although probably going to upgrade to a 5800x soon.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks

Its what I'm leaning towards too. £70 instead of £110 as well...

The corsair one is minimally better, but if its more than $5-10 more in price, that little tiny bit of difference is not worth paying more money for. Thats so close in performance timings and Mhz, that they are practically the same RAM.
